This comment was made by Vanessa, a 35-year-old family therapist with a learning disability. Vanessa's parents also struggled with her learning disability ever since she was first diagnosed in the second grade. They were devastated to discover that their daughter might encounter considerable difficulties learning to read and write, and develop the social and emotional problems often associated with learning disabilities in childhood and adolescence. The most difficult task of all was helping Vanessa grow up with a positive self-image in spite of her learning disability. 
Even as an adult, Vanessa faces challenges in reading and writing, maintaining friendships, and, at times, feeling good about herself. Yet despite these struggles, she has managed to achieve outward success and lives a personally satisfying and rewarding life. How? "Success" is defined differently by everyone, so they shouldn't be worked up by fitting the "norm."]]> 2018-10-19 16:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1943salaro/lmq5xx0rdimg/wish/294916706 Contributing Factors 1943salaro https://padlet.com/1943salaro/lmq5xx0rdimg/wish/294917238 - Environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantages
